In order to weaken the role played by Young Master Meng in this negotiation with Japan, Prince Gong said for several days when the prince and the minister discussed state affairs with the empress dowager of the two palaces: "This Li Shaoquan is indeed a first-class diplomatic figure, if there is no Li Shaoquan, there will be no ideal result in the negotiation with Japan" Everyone knew that there was a role of Xuan Yuemeng, and there was no Xuan Yuemeng who killed the Japanese minister Date Sojo in the previous business war, and then let Japan accompany so much money, where did Li Hongzhang go to negotiate and, The whole negotiation process is transparent, these big people have many eyes and ears, how can it be unclear, the whole negotiation process is also led by Xuan Yuemeng, it's just that no one will care what Prince Gong Yixun says, and no one will offend Prince Gong for a child who never knows each other.There is one person who will, that is, Li Hongzao, who has been in contact with Young Master Meng, Li Hongzao has not only been in contact with Young Master Meng, but also likes Young Master Meng very much, and has been thinking about cultivating Young Master Meng.If Young Master Meng knew that Li Hongzao, the old man, had this kind of thought, it was estimated that he would have to find tofu to die, but Young Master Meng didn't have the idea of getting into the science field at all.Li Hongzao: "Empress Dowager Rongyu, not only Lord Li Hongzhang played a role in this negotiation with Japan, but also the imperial court should also take into account the contribution of the people. ”If it weren't for Prince Gong's frequent mention of the trade treaty with Japan, Li Hongzao wouldn't have wanted to mention Xuan Yuemeng, after all, he has nothing to do with Xuan Yuemeng, if he has a relationship, it is only a relationship with Xuan Zonglu's generation, and it is already quite far away when he arrives at Yuemeng.The contribution of the people naturally refers to Xuan Yuemeng.The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed: "Yes, this child, the mourning family has also heard of it, it is indeed a rare talent, but he is only one year old, what should he be rewarded, the fame of the imperial court is too small."
Being an official is less absurd, and rewarding him with some silver, it seems that it is not appropriate to hear that this child is a business wizard at a young age. ”Li Hongzao pondered and said, "You can reward a person's origin." ”Cixi sighed, and looked at Li Hongzao from behind the curtain, this is the first time that Li Hongzao has publicly promoted Li Hongzao is the leader of the clear stream, and he has always regarded himself very highly.Prince Gong and Wang Yixun were taken aback, he didn't expect Li Hongzao to be so direct for that Xuan Yuemeng, and hurriedly gave his cronie Shen Guifen a look, Shen Guifen was the same as Li Hongzao, and he spoke very methodically, but Li Hongzao couldn't help but have the taste of being upright and straightforward.And Shen Guifen is warm and eloquent, like the demeanor of the giant clan housekeeper who replies to the hostess, so the Empress Dowager Cixi thinks it is particularly beautiful.Prince Gong Yixun asked Shen Guifen to help speak, it was his killer feature, obviously unwilling to let people like Xuan Yuemeng have the opportunity to get close to the court Xuan Yuemeng Whether it is Li Hongzhang's person, or will lean towards Li Hongzao, for Prince Gong Yixun, I don't want such a prodigy to have the opportunity to get close to the court and the Queen Mother, although the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Prince Gong Yixun is very good, but after all, they are separated by a layer, and they are only allies and defenders, which really makes Li Hongzhang's power develop smoothly and dominate the local family.
This is also a situation that Prince Gong Yixun does not want to see.Shen Guifen: "The Queen Mother is groomed, a one-year-old child as big as Xuan Yuemeng, even if it has some effect, if it is directly rewarded, it is still a bit heavy, Weichen thinks that if the Queen Mother really wants to reward, it will be fine."
Or, in the holy decree of praising Lord Li Hongzhang, mentioning this Xuan Yuemeng by the way is enough to show that the grace of heaven is mighty. ”Li Hongzao was not angry, this was the first time he began to sponsor the people below the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he encountered opposition, as two generations of emperors, how to save face Other military ministers, whether they are pro-Prince Gong Yixun, or neutral, are waiting to see the excitement.Li Hongzao snorted, but stopped talking.The Empress Dowager Cixi originally had the intention to reward Xuan Yuemeng with something, although she also felt that it was too heavy to reward her birth directly, but she really had this plan, since Li Lianying reminded her to envelop a rare prodigy like Xuan Yuemeng, and a talent who understands foreign affairs, the Empress Dowager Cixi really thought about directly rewarding Xuan Yuemeng's birth.It's just that if you directly reward your birth, it will make everyone red, and it will also cause trouble for future rewards, not only for Xuan Yuemeng, but if you reward it in the future, it will be difficult to increase it, and you can't reward your birth every time Xuan Yuemeng is just a one-year-old child.Moreover, in the future, if there are ministers who have made meritorious contributions, what should I do Hanchen so much, they all reward the Empress Dowager Cixi with difficulties in her heart, but her face was silent, she looked at the Empress Dowager Ci'an who was sitting next to her, and smiled slightly: "Master Li's words are excellent, and the mourning family can't think about what kind of background to reward for a while, besides, this child is still too young, let it go first, and after a while, the mourning family will see if the emperor will summon this child into the palace, and let the emperor deal with some favors to the people below." ”Li Hongzao was overjoyed, what the Empress Dowager Cixi said was not only to save her face, but even if it was a procrastination, this time with the Empress Dowager's words, if he wanted to help Yuemeng speak next time, he would have spoken, and hurriedly said: "Yes."
The Queen Mother. ”The ministers said in unison: "The Queen Mother Shengming." ”Cixi's words undoubtedly swept Prince Gong's face, Yixin secretly held hatred in his heart, but he could only keep his anger in his heart, and Xuan Yuemeng's impression in Prince Gong's heart was even worse.Young Master Meng this time, although he earned seven million taels, after repaying the land payment from the U.S.
Consulate, there was only a little more than three million taels left.At present, Xuan Yuemeng's economic pressure is much less, or it can be said that there is no pressure for the time being, if there is pressure, it is only based on the basis of no longer striving for progress, he now has a foundation that can be a rich man in peace.Of course, Young Master Meng will not stop developing, if he just wants to be a rich man with peace of mind, he can already do this after getting Xuan Zonglu's money.The construction of the US Concession wharf is still in full swing, and Master Meng also planned the location of the dock and shipyard, and invested a certain amount of manpower and material resources in the construction.However, Young Master Meng still did not have the determination to buy a ship, three million taels, not only to deal with the preparation of mines, dock construction, power plants, and several large factories, but also to take into account that buying a ship does not necessarily create profits with the few enterprises in his hands, and the flow of goods will not come up for a while, even if you buy a boat, you may not be able to use it.Moreover, if the number of ships bought is too small to form a scale, on the one hand, the cost of a single is too high, and the cost of operation is correspondingly high, you know, whether it is ten ships, a hundred ships, or one ship, the difference in operating costs is about the same, even if you only have one ship, you have to have someone to manage it.Young Master Meng sighed softly, and went to the industrial area full of worries.Young Master Meng stood in front of the archway in the industrial area.This archway is tall and straight, with a row of gilded characters in the Klinsmann Industrial Zone.Young Master Meng looked at this row of words and felt a lot of emotion, this period of hard work is just a shelf.Xuan Yuewu said with a smile: "Yuemeng, what do you look at, this brand is already magnificent." ”Young Master Meng said lightly: "It's easy to get a brand, the key, there must be content in it" Xuanyue Wuqi said: "You still think the speed of development is slow, let's develop an industrial zone all of a sudden, the entire Zhili, and even the entire Qing Dynasty, who doesn't envy you, how old are you If you are seventeen or eighteen years old, and now the matchmaker who comes to our house to propose marriage, it is estimated that the threshold will be broken." ”Young Master Meng smiled bitterly, if it was just to find a peerless beauty, he already had Zhao Qingluo No matter what, he was already a peerless beauty, Yuerong, Yueyan, these maids he spent a lot of money to choose, which one is not the national color Tianxiang Ah Xuan Yuemeng: "We still have a long way to go, if you have the opportunity, I will take you to Europe to have a look, you know, what is called industry." ”Xuan Yuewu nodded, "There is a chance." ”Once the crisis has passed and entered a relatively relaxed stage, if you take a big risk and may return to the crisis, it will be difficult to raise the courage again.Young Master Meng walked around the workshop, and chatted with the workers and technicians a little.Since Master Meng has been more diligent recently, and the projects of the factory are all started under the personal creativity of Master Meng, everyone is familiar with this prodigy boss.Xuan Yuewu and Xuan Yuewen followed Young Master Meng, they are now official employees of Klinsmann Foreign Company, Young Master Meng let them all go down to the grassroots level, but every time Young Master Meng came to the industrial zone, they would automatically come over to accompany him.Young Master Meng recognized the people in the workshop, and also observed the equipment in the workshop.In the metalworking workshop, there are simple lathes, milling machines, planers, grinders, radial drilling machines, deep hole boring machines and the like of this era, most of which have been seen by Master Meng when he graduated from his internship.It's just rarely used, during this period of time with the process of developing products with foreign technicians, so that he is naturally familiar with these equipment, his starting point is higher than others, not only used, but also from a science background, even if the learning is not solid, the theoretical foundation is still there.t1706231537:
